I want to let you know I am against any increase in H-1B visas. The fact that you, as my governor, signed on to a letter to increase H-1B visas is a slap in the face to all IT workers seeking jobs.

To claim there is a critical shortage of highly skilled professionals in math and science is a lie. This myth has long ago been debunked by a Duke University study athttp://www.issues.org/23.3/wadhwa.html

I hope you will listen to voters who have to live with the consequences of jobs being given to H-1B visa workers rather than the corporations who want to give our jobs away.

"By checking his Bio page, we can see that he is yet another East Side tree hugging liberal (oh, they prefer to be called “progressive” now) that wants to make Milwaukee taxpayers pay for a light rail choo-choo that no one will ride… except maybe himself, since he claims to have taken the city bus downtown to register as a candidate."

Another cogent and elegantly phrased argument against the child's word for steam engine.

Here is a news release about the light rail in Saint Louis that, it was said, nobody would ride.

"I'm not sure what qualifications someone with the occupation of "geek" brings to the position of County Executive."

Perhaps you missed the impact that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (both geeks and college dropouts) have had on the American economy.

You need only look at the deteriorated state of the Milwaukee County Parks, the cuts to the Milwaukee County Transit System, the empty land on the Milwaukee County portion of the Park East development, the Milwaukee County parking annex fiasco, the lack of oversight on pensions ... Scott Walker's qualifications speak for themselves. The public will only take being fed the foul excrement of blaming prior administrations for so long.

Scott Walker is a tax-cutting anarchist who threatens to irreparably damage public institutions held by him in the public trust. He has failed in his fiduciary responsibility to preserve the institution once held by the City of Milwaukee, (the Public Zoo, the Public Museum, the Public Parks) and turned over to Milwaukee County for the mutual benefit of all the people.

Where is the leadership and action? We have been the recipients of nearly six years of spin.

Unlike the Merde de Poulet politicians, talk show entertainers, and bloggers who fear dialog, I say bring it on.
